AbstractGenerally, health services are not covered by the treaties of the European Community. However, to an increasing extent the EC has and will have an influence on national health systems. In particular the effects of regulations made for other sectors have repercussions for health. For example the free movement of labour and the harmonization initiatives have direct effects on the educational curricula for health professions and may, in time increase professional migration within the community. Within the EC research programmes health related topics have been included to an increasing extent. This goes in particular for medical informatics, standardization, quality assurance systems and pharmaceuticals. Indirect effects of the single market will probably appear within the area of insurance, public purchasing and building and other types of construction works. Other areas that probably will be influenced are record security and occupational health benefits.
